"You have to read this new novel."

"What novel?"

"Its a romance novel called 'The Saintess'. Its amazing!"

"Oh?"

The Saintess. A romance novel based on the Victorian Era. A magical time with Saintess', Mages, Gods and Goddess's.

A young girl named Willow Kira Shiza, she was a beauty beyond imagination. Almost not human. She had the beloved Goddess, and God on her side. She was often kidnapped, almost was murdered for her beauty and power.

Of course, almost like all novels and games, the male lead was the crown prince. Ray Kaisa Leopold was his name. He was known to be brutal, but once he saw Willow, he fell for her. He became soft for her, and vowed to protect her.

But, another women shall show up. Nova. Nova Anfisa. She is the villainess of this romance novel. She hated the Saintess from the beginning. She had everything even though she wasn't a noble, every man she wanted she could have. Yet she didn't even date a single one of them. When Willow stole her own crush, the one she had always been trying to have.

Eventually Nova lost it, and killed Willow. Of course she almost succeeded, but the Goddess, and God revived her. Nova was caught and was beheaded.

I never really enjoyed this story, my friends forced me too, and wouldn't shut up about it. I finally finished this stupid book. I looked at the clock, 2:00 in the morning, I need sleep, I have an exam tomorrow.....

Bang! The door slammed opened which made me jolt awake.

"Young Miss, you need to wake up, master, young master, and young mistress is calling for you," The voice walked over to the bed. Her voice was strident, thin, annoying to listen too.

'How annoying' I covered my ears with my pillow and rolled away from that unpleasant voice.

'Wait a minute,' I jolted up, and made eye contact with a young, gorgeous girl. She was wearing a maid outfit, not like those with the short skirts that basically show everything, but her skirt covered all the way to her ankles.

Her hair was raven black, they stuck to two ponytails on the sides. She had raven eyes, with a hint of gold. She stared at me whilst I stared right back.

"What's your name?" I asked, looking at her.

She made a worried face, "Leonia," she bowed, she was shaking and her voice was wobbly. Is this the same girl who came bursting into my room with an strident voice?

'Leonia.....oddly familiar,' I thought, before finally getting out of this comfy bed. I wanted to lay back down, but clearly, whoever this master, young master and mistress wanted me there immediately.

My room had a vanity in the corner, it had make-up scattered all over the place. I walked over to the messy vanity and froze.

My skin was pale, almost too pale. My eyes were a deep blood red, my hair a scarlet red, not as red as my eyes but still red.

I jerked my head towards Leonia, she flinched. She was still in a bowing position, "where the hell am I?! What's my name?! This isn't my house or my body! Who is master?! Who is everyone?!" I yelled, rather pissed at myself then her. She's just a maid and yet I'm telling at the poor girl.

"Y-Your name is Nova Anfisa, and you're at the A-Anfisa manor. The Duchy of Hermania. Master is your father, young miss. Your sister, and your brother also. You are the youngest out of the siblings..." She tried her best to stay calm. Clearly she was failing, you could hear the fact she was going to cry.

"A-Anfisa?" I looked down at my hands, I pinched my hands. Is this a dream? There is no way I'm the fucking villainess in this damn novel! How did I even get in the novel?!

"You're lying, right? Kyushu, stop this damn game! I get it, you hate me but do you have to be like this?" I called out, I looked around. All I saw was a traumatized Leonia, and a few maids outside the door also scared.

"Nova? Daddy sent us to come see you since you were taking forever. You're not even dressed. How disgraceful! Better yet, you were screaming at your poor maids that they have no fault in," A young brunette, that looked around the age of seventeen, came into my room. She had red eyes, except her eyes were like a rose red not blood red. Her hair was tied up in a pretty way, a braid leading to bun. This must be her older sister. What was her name....Lucia? Or was it Luca? She held her fan to her face, and you could tell she was smirking.

If I recall, Nova obeyed every single word of her older siblings. She has five older siblings, three boys and two girls. Sadly, she was the youngest.

"How rude. Imprudent brat, say your sorry to this beautiful maid," A man with blonde hair, horribly done. It looked like he just got out of a hot make out session. He probably did, in the novel it was said that one of the brothers slept with almost everyone. Nobles, maids, commoners, name it, he probably has.

Nobody said anything because he was the planned future heir of the Anfisa manor. He also had an arranged marriage with the Princess.

"I wasn't yelling her. I wasn't meaning too anyways," I avoided eye contact, I don't need to see their faces. I'm not even their own sibling.

"I won't be eating today, I got studying to do. Tell 'father' I will be skipping breakfast today. If he has something to say, he can come to see me," I spun around and saw my desk. It looked almost rarely used.

If I really am Anfisa, she would have a diary in her desk. It would be a pink book, with the name 'Nova's Dearest Diary' .

"NOVA ANFISA! THAT IS NO WAY TO TALK TO ME AND YOUR SISTER! WE ARE OLDER THAN YOU!"

The boy yelled. "What's your name again?" I asked, I'm really pissed right now. If I really am Nova, I'm screwed. I'll fucking die. I don't need to die, and don't want to die.

"W-What? I'm your brother, Marcus," he looked shocked. Has nobody asked your damn name before?

"Marcus.....that means your Lucia?" I pointed at Lucia. She forcibly closed her pink fan. She spun around and stormed out. Marcus stood for a moment before running out of the room.

"Leonia, leave and close the door on your way out," she quickly nodded and left.

The door was closed, and finally I can figure what the fuck is going on.

"Alright, where is it...." I shut and opened drawers, finally got to the last drawer. It had a big book, with the words carved on it 'Nova's Dearest Diary'

I guess I really am. I opened it, and it was filled with dates and her secrets. Alright. I need figure out about this damn world before I continue on in this hell hole.

I got out a price of paper that was hiding under diary.

____________________

Nova Anfisa had five siblings. Marcus, Carson, Izek, Lucia, and Mirai.

Marcus slept with everyone and basically everything. He's cocky and 'appalling'. He hated Nova, and made he life a living hell every time he had the chance. Marcus stuck to Lucia, no matter the situation. He even took the blame. He was a doll to Lucia. Ill need to stay away from him, I don't need some incest going on between us.

Lucia is a manipulative princess. She was a brat, and threw a tantrum if she didn't get her way. She'd cry for hours or pretend she was sick. She would wail for her 'daddy', and if he didn't come, she would try to say things that she couldn't and wouldn't do to herself. She kind of was like Nova, I need to keep a distance from this brat, she'll be the end of me, and I might kill he if she pushes hard enough.

Carson. Carson wasn't mentioned much in the novel, he was more like an extra that was needed. The also mentioned he was the twin of Lucia, you wouldn't believe it at first considering they are total opposites, but its true.

The author explained a few things, Carson was a silent, calm kid. He avoided social interactions. Even at his coming-of-age ceremony, he avoided everyone. Only a few saw him. They also mentioned he was a beauty, too handsome for his kind. It was also said that he is overprotective, I might need to stay with him, he'll be perfect to keep me safe.

Izek, he was a knight. A strong one in fact, in the future, he will work for the royal family as a knight. He will be a knight for the princess. Izek was outgoing and very playful. But as soon as he was on the battlefield, he is serious and can defeat anyone in his path. Maybe even the king. I need him, he'll be a good asset to change my future.

And last but not least Mirai. She was the only one who cared about Nova. She was rather a kind hearted sister. She helped with her wounds and fed her if she was held under probation. What ever Nova did, Mirai supported her, even when she tried to kill Willow. Mirai was a huge part of the attempted murder. I'll need her sadly.
